I love being a wedding photographer. And sometimes its as much about something the bride and groom have organised as about the location.

At a recent wedding, the couple had booked a Classic 1967 split-screen VW camper van. It was so spectacular, that I felt it needed its very own blog page!

Speaking to Bob, who owned and drove it, he explained that he’d spent more than 4 years completely rebuilding the vehicle. And it was well worth it. It’s already won a number of concours events, and I imagine he’ll be entering it a lot more in the future.

Bob arrived at the brides home with plenty of time to spare on a gloriously sunny March morning in the north Devon seaside town of Ilfracombe. The drive to St Sabinius church in Woolacombe took just a few minutes through a country lane. But wisely, Bob took his VW along a main route to avoid having to stop every 100 yards to let other vehicles coming the opposite way pass.

This gave me, the wedding photographer, plenty of time to get to the church first.

After the ceremony, there were gasps from plenty of the guests when they saw the VW.

The groom, bestman and ushers didn’t have to be asked twice to don their sunglasses and strike a cool pose by the van.

I want one!

Angelli & Keith had the most spectacularly sunny October day ever for their wedding in Swindon, Wiltshire during October.

The ceremony was at their regular church in the town and they had asked for both formal and candid photographs in the nearby Queens Park before heading off to the Hilton Hotel where they had their reception.

Danielle and Steve were getting married in their local church, St Peters, in Stratton near Cirencester in the Late summer.

What a pretty location! And stunning blue skies and warm weather made for a maginificent backdrop to a great day.

Accompanied by their 3 daughters and son, who had a thoroughly good time both at the church and the reception which was held at the Stratton hotel just 1/4 mile down the road, Danielle and Steve looked relaxed throughout the day.

Even if the vicar looked somewhat bored when Danielle exercised her right to be just a bit late.

Rosemary & Julian attend a chapel in Exeter where they were getting married in the early spring.

Unusually, they had two ministers perform the service, one being the local minister, the other from Cheltenham.

Following the ceremony which was in the centre of Exeter, we drove out to an old pub called the Fingle Bridge Inn, unsurprisingly located next to the Fingle Bridge.

About 400 meters from the bridge, I had discovered what seemed to be the remains of an ancient Mill, complete with broken down stone walls and various pieces of cast iron gears. This was my chosen spot for the couple-shoot I always like to do, away from the rest of the guests.

About me

I've been an avid photographer since my school days and have been photographing weddings for over 20 years, going professional in 2005.
Weddings and Portrait shoots are my bread-and-butter. I love them. I think its great to meet new people, exciting to go to interesting places and fantastic that people want me to photograph them looking at their very best on the most wonderful day of their life.
The reason I'm so passionate about wedding photography, getting the right look, the candid image, the apparently spontaneous moment captured beautifully? - because I wish the photos of our wedding day were like that.
And even with the likes of Photoshop, you still can't turn a blurred or poorly shot image into a fantastic photograph. The words about a sows-ear and silk purse might spring to mind.
